Prepare for Final Countdown...

Today was rough. Beautiful, but rough. My personal most difficult scene so far, followed by my favorite scene so far, a fond farewell to two crew members, and our last night together in Belzig.

Today I had to cry. This is my personal bane. I HATE crying. It's like a trigger: As soon as a camera is pointed in my face, my tear ducts shrivel up and hide, eyes dry as a bone. And at the same time, I love the challenge (and deeply thank Jesse for being so giving during the scene). Especially since, in the scene following, I got to be an absolute bitch to Jesse's character. Loved it!



Goddess bless Jesse for giving me so much to work with in this scene.

A plane, a plane! Oh, my kingdom for a rocket launcher!

Two of our crew members are leaving us today. Sabina, from Wardrobe, will be starting another job tomorrow and Louise, our prop assistant/intern, is leaving tomorrow morning to go back to school.

I'll miss you two! Please keep in touch.



(Note to Louise's dad: "Cute as a bug" is a compliment. I promise!)

And to end the day, we all met up at Reni's, the local bar, for our last night in Belzig (and the last night of the cast as a whole, tomorrow being the final shooting day for most). Unfortunately, all the pics ended up blurry, but just know that Jager, absinthe, and Beatles tunes figured prominently in the evening (hmmm, maybe I'll just keep some of the photos for blackmail purposes later on. Hah!).

Tomorrow should be interesting....
